Proposal: Change of use from agricultural field to camping and caravan site

It was raised that there are already sufficient campsites in the local area.
Councillors agreed with the comments made by members of the public. Cllrs are in favour of encouraging tourists to the village as it benefits the local economy but believe there are sufficient campsites already nearby. This site will not be supervised.
